    Description

    Home Fire Campaign

    Just one day of your life could change someone else's life forever!

    Join the Red Cross as we Sound the Alarm to help make homes safer from Home Fires. In teams of 3, we will connect with individuals who have made appointments to have their smoke alarms checked to ensure proper working order. We will install free smoke alarms in homes that need them and we will also conduct a short fire safety education program for the family.

    This is a fun and rewarding group activity for groups of any size!! Individuals also welcome to sign up, you don't have to have a group to participate!! Won't you come out and help us make homes safer from Home Fires!

    Home fires claim seven lives every day, but having working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death by half.

    That’s why the American Red Cross is rallying volunteers to install free smoke alarms nationwide, as part of our Sound the Alarm events.

    This year we’ll install free smoke alarms, create escape plans and share fire safety information.

    Join us for a rewarding day at a Sound the Alarm event near you.
